More and bigger cobia are caught around bunker schools, ocean fluking is great around the reefs and wrecks, and offshore anglers find quality yellowfin and mahi.

Ocean fluke fishing produces both size and numbers, cobia are caught by boat and shore anglers, and stripers slurp on cinder worms on the north shore.

Anglers catch rays, sharks and cobia in the surf, quality fluke bite around ocean reefs and wrecks, and the back bays are loaded with triggerfish and puffers.

Big fluke are caught regularly on the south shore, stripers hit eels and bunker around NYC, and there are rumblings of cobia in the back bays of Long Beach.

Bluefish are thick on both shores, sea bass season opened with a bang, and big stripers roam the increasingly-sharky south shore surf.

Gator bluefish are packed into the western Sound, thresher sharks harass bunker pods on the south shore and anglers prepare for the sea bass season opener on Friday.

Fluke fishing is great in the bays and inlets, 40-inch stripers hit jigs on the North shore, and big blues are everywhere clobbering topwater plugs.

South shore stripers key in on bunker while the North shore hosts spearing and sand eels, big fluke are being caught in south shore bays and porgies are in thick across the island.

Porgies swarm the north shore beaches and jetties, fluke fishing is hot in the south shore bays, and big bluefish beat stripers to baits on both sides of the island.

Bluefish follow bunker schools into the Western Sound, North Shore fluke fishing improves, and striped bass fishing remains reliable in the back bays on both shores.
